> If using JOSM a click of the middle button whilst the cursor is over the

> Whilst the dialog is open hold down the left mouse button and you can

>
> Select a way and delete it,  then repeat process to delete the third way.

> Before doing the above I would :
>
> 1) check that all ways have the same tags, so you will not delete w way
> with extra information
>
> 2) check each way starts and ends at the same point as each of the other
> two ways.
